SpyPoint Solar…

We’re quite excited about the new SpyPoint Solar camera trap. The UK camera trap market has needed an injection of bold innovation, and SpyPoint have provided it with their Solar model – a built-in solar panel. This camera, in combination with a set of Lithium batteries, can run and run. SpyPoint boast that you’ll never need to buy batteries again – and they might well have a point.

And we know what you’re thinking; “I live in the UK – its not really that sunny” or “I’ll be putting the camera in a forest, or under a tree” – but that doesn’t matter. The solar panel doesn’t need direct sunlight – it can charge off any light that is present. SpyPoint test their camera traps in the cold Canadian wilderness, and assure us that the camera’s solar panel charges fully even under these conditions. We’ve tested them in forests, gardens and fields – and the solar panel keeps on going. The SpyPoint Solar also comes with a USB charging cable to get you kick-started.

It has the fastest trigger speed of any camera trap currently available – 0.07 seconds (for photos) and around 0.5 seconds for video. Impressive.

The SpyPoint Solar also has a host of other very impressive features. 12MP stills are excellent quality, and the HD video is great quality. Whilst using the SpyPoint Solar you can feel that there is a lot going on under-the-hood – its intuitive and pleasant to use. Features like a 60 second countdown on the screen once you tell the camera to start, which if you then press ‘OK’ reduces to 10 seconds, demonstrate this.

The Spypoint Solar trail camera also has a curved motion sensor which improves the detection angle and detecting distance of its five detection zones.

SpyPoint camera traps have been around for a while now, and have developed year on year. They are a Canadian-based company, and all of their trail cameras are tested in the harsh Canadian winter before release.

There are currently three main models of SpyPoint cameras, released in summer 2016, all of which fit in at different places in the market;

Force 11D – a mid-market camera trap with industry-leading trigger times (particularly for photos) and amazing battery-life under normal usage

Solar – the only camera trap with a solar panel built in. Potentially unlimited battery life, especially when paired with an initial set of lithium batteries. The same trigger speeds as the Force 11D

The trigger speeds of these cameras are all insane, and battery life is great. If they’re some of the main things that you are looking for, then SpyPoint might be for you.

It also feels like there is a bit more going on in a SpyPoint camera – they feel cleverer than the average. The detection zones are broken up into 5 areas to ensure a better result, screens display countdown timers when you turn the camera on, and fast release clips help you take the camera off it’s backing quickly and conveniently.

All come with a 2 year UK warranty when bought through NatureSpy, as an official UK dealer. If you need to ask any questions at all about SpyPoint or any other camera trap we do, just get in touch.
